Nominations are being accepted for the NOIA Safety in Seas (SIS) Awards 2025. As a beacon of excellence in the offshore energy industry, the SIS Awards recognize and celebrate companies that lead in safety innovation and contribute to the progress of offshore safety in the U.S.

Since 1978, NOIA has annually hosted the SIS Awards to honor those shaping the future of offshore safety. Sponsored by Compass Publications (the publisher of Sea Technology), the Safety in Seas Awards have become the industry standard, applauding unwavering dedication to safety, and acknowledging the women and men driving safety performance and sustainable improvement.

The Safety Practice Award recognizes specific technologies, approaches, methods, or projects with direct and demonstrable impacts on improving safety.

The Culture of Safety Award honors overall organizational immersion in and commitment to safety, which has resulted in remarkable, measurable, and sustained safety performance over a prolonged period of time.

The deadline is February 21, 2025 to be considered for these awards.

Email your submission, along with the applicable entry form in PDF format, to NOIA VP of Communications Justin Williams and NOIA COO Catherine Brown. Expect a confirmation email from NOIA within 48 hr. of submitting your entry.

The NOIA Safety in Seas competition is open to all NOIA members in good standing. In March 2025, an independent judging committee will review entries and select the winners in each award category. NOIA does not participate in the judging process. Winners will be announced and presented with their awards at the 2025 NOIA Annual Meeting at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., April 2 to 4. Winning entrants will have the honor of presenting their award-winning programs at the 2025 NOIA Fall Meeting at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain in Arizona.
